Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 2

  • Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You normally place a bet (a dollar is the usual value) to try to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Though huge jackpots like this are extremely appealing, they’re also particularly complicated to succeed. You might have to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, think about this- you play 20 hands and make the side bet each time. That’s 20 dollars you could have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker wager. Picture what you could have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds utilizing that 20 dollars.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the overall casino edge from twopercent with one zero wheel to a huge 5.26percent in American. The individual number bet has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much lower casino advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the casino advantage can be a whopping 25%. No, that was not a error. Due to the huge set of numbers you must select, it’s not advisable to gamble on Keno to often. A couple of times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your money on it or you will immediately discover yourself broke.
